    Default Fox front coil overs spring rate

    Im putting a tubular k member a arms manual rack in my 79 hatch back I want to do coil overs I'm not sure what spring rate to get it's going to be a street heavy street strip car the only thing I really wanted was to drop the car a couple of inches ride quality isn't a big concern but I don't want to feel like I'm driving a fork lift around other then the front suspension and a fiberglass hood the car is full weight any other variables let me know thanks.

    Dependong on what all you put on the front of the car when turbo i would go 12"150LB. Down teh road if that isn't enough srping they're only 70 bucks a set i believe and can be replaced easily. But for now iron headed 302 12" 150LB should work well.
